NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 524: Fun Rookie Challenge
, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
This year's rookie challenge will no longer be divided into first-year teams and second-year teams, but a mixed team of first-year and second-year students will compete against each other.
According to the arrangement, the players on the shortlist for the 2012 Rookie Challenge are selected by the assistant coaches of the NBA teams.
Each team can provide up to two rookies to enter the shortlist, and finally a 9-man list will be selected by the general managers of the two teams.
The other two were the No. 1 picks in the draft for the past two years. There is no need to choose this spot. The No. 1 pick can directly enter the final list, regardless of whether he is a parallel importer or not.
Charles Barkley and "Shark" O'Neal, who are TNT TV commentators, will serve as the general managers of the two teams respectively. They will each select 9 players from the shortlist through the draft.
Shaq O'Neal's ten-man roster is as follows: John Wall, Blake Griffin, Jeremy Lin, Markieff Morris, Greg Monroe, Landry Fields, Norris Coe Bill, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Wright and Tristan Thompson.
Head Coaches: Ron Adams, Steve Kerr.
General Manager: Shaquille O'Neal.
The 10-man roster for the "Chuck" Barkley team is as follows: Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Derrick Williams, Marshan Brooks, Kemba Walker, Thiago Splitter, Coyon Leonard, Evan Turner.
Head Coaches: Maurice Cheeks, Mike Fratello.
General Manager: Charles Barkley.
Since Jeremy Lin and Cousins ??belonged to two teams respectively, Lian Dao didn't know which team to support. In the end, whoever scored the goal of the two, Lian Dao cheered for.
I have to say that the restructuring of the Rookie Challenge this time is still very good.
Compared with before, it is a little less serious, but the added entertainment is very popular with fans.
Especially O'Neill, who plays tricks on the court, is an entertainment genius who likes to play and is good at playing.
With Shaquille O'Neal as the general manager of the "Shaq" team, the "Shaq" team will naturally not lack joy, especially some wonderful goals and player interactions, which made the audience laugh non-stop. Even Lian Dao couldn't help laughing.
The little senior sister saw O'Neill dancing funny on the sidelines, and laughed even more.
However, I have to say that the entertainment game is more gorgeous and much more beautiful than before.
O'Neal chose to be funny, and Barkley naturally chose to be serious. Only when the two styles collide will the game be more exciting.
So Barkley very seriously told the team to play steadily, and their goal is to make something exciting while winning.
The two different styles actually determined the different directions of the game from the beginning.
At the beginning of the game, the "Chuck" team firmly controlled the situation on the court.
As last year's No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving has a strong desire to win, and he showed off his gorgeous offensive style on the court.
It has to be said that Irving's offensive skills are very rich, and the breakthrough methods are endless.
If Iverson passed people 100 times in one way, then Irving can pass people in 100 ways.
In this Rookie Challenge, Irving is bound to win the MVP!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, how many of those backcourt players who can become superstars have never won the MVP of the rookie game?
So don't look at this as a game with a stronger performance, but for a rookie like Irving who aspires to become a superstar, it is actually a game that must be won in his career.
Compared with the seriousness of the "Chuck" team, the "Shaq" team is unique in the opening lineup in the first place.
O'Neal directly placed three point guards on the court: Rubio, Jeremy Lin and John Wall, while matching power forward White Warcraft Griffin and center Monroe.
It was Rubio who really controlled the ball, but Rubio also showed silky passing ability.
From the very beginning, Rubio was relaxed and trying to play for his teammates.
It can be seen that this little guy from Europe is not only cute, but also has great skills and awareness.
After playing for a while in the first half, Rubio found a chance to break through, and Evan Turner in front of him tried to come over to help defend. As a result, Rubio made a fake move to the right, and the honest Turner immediately dodged to the right obediently.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly righteous Rubio was so cunning that he tricked Turner with a single trick, and then there was nothing in front of him, and he scored 2 points with an easy layup.

At that moment, Rubio was very much like Jason Williams, with the same white skin, the same skillful ball handling, and more similar, the same creativity.
The rookie match is very suitable for players like Rubio who let go and play. Everyone is not here to fight hard.
Relax and bring happiness to the fans, that is the kingly way of the match. In this regard, Rubio is very thorough.
In addition to paying tribute to white chocolate in the first half, he also played the street style in the second half.
Facing the double-teaming of the two in the backcourt, Rubio didn't panic at all, and easily hit the ground through the crotch, passing through the wall in an instant.
Once in the frontcourt, Rubio tossed the ball directly to the basket for an alley-oop to Blake Griffin.
These very creative goals also caused the fans to scream again and again.
And Jeremy Lin played shooting guard for the first time, which made him very uncomfortable.
At the same time, compared to others, he lacks more outstanding athletic ability, for example: he can't fly up and perform wonderful dunks like Wall.
His personality is not as extroverted as Rubio, so he can't play basketball very "coquettishly".
So Jeremy Lin's performance was not very good, and his playing time was not very much, only 9 minutes.
Compared with the rookie challenge of performance nature, Jeremy Lin is more suitable for the main game.
Wall plays the role of forward and guard. The 2010 No. 1 pick, John Wall, has gone from being highly anticipated last season to being unknown this year.
Although there is a reason for the team's record, it seems that he himself did not train well during the 149-day lockout period. Instead, he rushed to the field to play wild balls, resulting in a shooting level that was not even as good as his rookie year.
But when it comes to breakthrough layups and showing off his abilities, Wall is still very suitable for the All-Star stage.
Although it is not a main game, Wall will spare no effort to perform in a game like the Rookie Challenge.
In the first half, Wall played 11 minutes off the bench and scored 5 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds on 2 of 3 shots. All of the hits came from breakthrough layups.
O'Neal's mischievous "three point guards" dismissal naturally made his team quickly lose its ability to resist.
Although the orthodox No. 2 and No. 3 players were replaced later, due to playing too much in the early stage, the holes dug were too large, which led to a one-sided trend in the following games.
Later, O'Neal originally hoped that "White Monster" Griffin could save some teams, but Griffin's ambition was not here.
The rookie game is just a warm-up for Griffin for the All-Star Weekend. What he really values ??is the All-Star Game two days later.
Therefore, Griffin was a little silent in the rookie game. Judging from his attitude, he wanted to give the stage to the young players around him.
After all, he is already an All-Star player. Let him play in the rookie game. The league largely wants to increase the ratings and attract more attention from the outside world.
After the start of the second half~www.innread.com~ Griffin was more active. After receiving a long pass from his teammate, Griffin threw the ball to the backboard, and then caught the ball in the air and dunked into the basket , He performed the rookie game as a slam dunk contest. 𝑓r𝙚ew𝚎𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝗲𝘭. c𝘰m
In the following game, Griffin made two more dunks, showing off his dunk ability.
Although he withdrew from the slam dunk contest, Griffin still has a strong desire to perform, and his amazing athletic talent was still displayed in these few dunks.
And in the rookie game, which doesn't emphasize defense, it's easier for Griffin to buckle up.
Griffin only scored 10 points and 1 rebound in the whole game. From the statistics, it can be seen that he is just going through the motions.
Even during the game, O'Neal used words to stimulate Griffin from time to time, telling him how many points a certain player on the Chuck team scored.
I hope Griffin can play harder, but this did not arouse Griffin's interest at all.
